Cool Bananas Greg - come to Tahiti with us...but why would you need to swim there alone?


And by the way everyone Leskey is in New Zealand....but still Oceana region.

Austin...this is so beautiful and the scenery so vivid..almost like being there. When did you do all this beautiful writing..I know you said you have never studied old Celtic lore but this is Celtic in nature and so you must flow from some ancient celtic memory to adore and worship the truth in flowers...this is how the Celtic ancestors understood life and living..through the flowers

smiles...Mikal.....(*) ()>>>chickadee loves it too!!!

I made the scenery a year or two ago when I worked the night shift as a hotel desk clerk, my kind of job, for there was nothing to do, so I read books and also cut out parts from some of my photos or others and combined them into new scenes. You could say that at night I created the world.

[Mikal]

The night desk clerk...did that dear...in the Best Western. So what inspires you to write...I find inspiration is one of the driving forces behind my own poetry. Yes I guess you did...create a world at night...love it..its great.

The writing just came when it came, soon after I took out an old flower book from Vassar Library and read it in the Shakespearian Garden where they have all the flowers mentioned in his plays. It's the favorite of all my poems.

I am part Irish, so maybe there was a Celt in the woodpile…

My pleasure to bring you flowers, oh dearest Mikal, you sweet pie and delicious cake.

[Mikal]

Austie...I am an Irish lassie...grandparents right from Ireland..we share our love for poetry and sitting in beautiful flower laden landscapes...I am just plum tickled and peachy keen on you dear....

[Mikal]

Well now I'm speechless...and believe me I am seldom without words...chuckles

Profpat, Drifter, and Melanie put out a lot of words today—maybe they will lend you some if they have any left over, but Profpat is having dinner now, then a myriad of desserts, some in a holodeck.
